"Even commoners work diligently every day to grasp their ordinary happiness! Don't you dare underestimate 'normal'!"

◆　◆　◆

"“Apparently, in this country, there are people called the 'Shadow Royalty' who manipulate even the visible royal family from behind the scenes.”"

That rumor, passed down in the Kingdom of Planar since ancient times, is known not only by the royalty and nobility, but even by commoners.

But do they actually exist?

Surely it's just a rumor.

After all, no one has ever actually seen them, have they?

Most people laugh it off that way, but...

"“They do exist, the Shadow Royalty! Because I am one! Noooooo. Why me?!”"

Crybaby Sara, ordinary Sara, Sara who seems to have left her athletic ability behind in her mother's womb.

Sara, the youngest of six siblings, who is both teased and doted upon by her elder brothers and sisters, is, surprisingly, by an ancient decree, destined to become the Shadow Queen of her era.

Though she hates it, no matter how much she wishes for peace and lives as a mere town girl in the royal capital, troubles still find their way to her.

When she tries to do something about it, she is sometimes helped by her older siblings, who have hidden their identities and taken up important posts in various places; sometimes she demonstrates her own pride; and before she knows it, she's played a part in normalizing the country again?!

"“Unfortunately,”"

"“That catchphrase again? What is it this time?”"

"“Your Shadow Queen rank went up by one.”"

"“Ugh, noooooo!!”"

Along with Svein—the next generation's Shadow King's adjudication relic, or rather, the overseer and auxiliary mechanism for generations of 'useless' kings, who currently takes the form of a cute bear plushie—will ordinary Sara successfully become the Shadow Princess?

Sara, who simply wants to live in peace, begins her commoner's perspective on national governance!
